Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage is crafted entirely from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on the Garcés Silva family’s estate in the Leyda Valley, where ocean breezes and granitic soils contribute to its energy and minerality. It shows bright green‑tinged color with aromas of mango, pineapple, passion fruit, lime, ginger, and jasmine, supported by subtle spice and floral tones. On the palate, it is balanced, viscous, and long, with crisp acidity, a savory saline edge, and a complex finish that reflects both tropical richness and coastal freshness.
Food pairings highlight its acidity and aromatic intensity, making it ideal with goat cheese, shellfish, oysters, mild white fish, and tangy ceviche, as well as dishes featuring herbs, citrus, or fresh greens. Its saline lift and citrus‑herbal profile make it especially well‑suited to seafood and coastal cuisine.
